The Lowcountry Blues Bash continues on Sunday with a big local showcase at Home Team BBQ and a pile of shows around town. Organizer Gary Erwin considers the “All-Star Blues Jam & Oyster Roast” a “blues revue, with everyone taking their turn.” This year’s all-local roster features singer/guitarist Drink Small (pictured), harmonica man Juke Joint Johnny, the rhythmic team of John Picard (on drums) and Whitt Algar (on keys and guitar), and a slew of guitarists, including Jeff Norwood, Tommy Thunderfoot, Skye Paige, “Stone Cold” Sarah Cole, and other guests.
“This year is gonna be a knockout,” says Thunderfoot. “Last year, it was standing-room only for the entire time. In my own experience, the crowd at last year’s jam was the biggest of any event during the Bash.” Music runs from 2-9 p.m.
Here’s what’s on the schedule for Sunday, February 8:
